What to do if water collects in the CVT housing
If the vehicle was submerged in water deep enough that water has entered the CVT housing, remove the
drain bolt ( 1 ) at the bottom of the housing to drain the water from the case.
Water drain bolt torque: 18.4 ft-lb.(25 N•m)
CAUTION
If water drains from the CVT housing after removing the bolt, have your dealer inspect the vehicle, as
water may have aected the CVT system and other engine parts.
Drying a Wet CVT System
If the CVT system was submerged and the drive belt is slipping, any remaining moisture inside the CVT
housing after draining can be expelled by running the engine above 2000 RPM in Park or Neutral for
( 30~60 ) seconds, then testing for proper CVT function in low gear. Repeat as necessary. If the CVT
system continues to slip or have poor performance, contact your dealer.
